The days of the photo copier on the library floor are over. Students demand digital, and your
print collections are too valuable not to make them available to the majority of college
students today who see copiers as "old school."

Occupying less space than a floor standing copier and offering 12x17 inch book-edge scanning,
KIC BookEdge provides the next best thing to face-up scanning in a form factor that's small
enough to fit in the far corners of any library! And its cost is small too.

What's so special about KIC systems is how easy they are to use with their True 2 Touch
interface and very large touch screens. Students enjoy unlimited, fast and easy access to entire
library collections, digitally. It's not often that a service becomes so popular with students
so rapidly. It's fitting that KIC systems are frequently purchased using student technology
funds.

Serving 70% of Students at US Universities

In the U.S. alone, DLSG book scanners are on 800 college and university campuses, including most of the top 100 and
nearly all large campuses. With the introduction of the KIC Click Mini, KIC BookEdge and KIC for Sprout Pro by HP, KIC
is now affordable for virtually all institutions of higher learning and full-service public libraries.
Last decade, libraries typically 'added' several KIC book scanning kiosks for patron, student, faculty and researcher use, but since 2010 libraries have begun to replace
their entire patron-use copier fleets with self-serve book scanning systems.

A True Digital Age Multifunction System for
AcademicPublic
Libraries

Book Scanning

Students at academic libraries want speed, and DLSG offers the fastest book scanners on the market.
Patrons at public libraries need simplicity, and KIC provides three of the simplest possible user
interfaces, one exclusively for scanning, one exclusively for copying and one exclusively for faxing.
And KIC's best-of-breed power user interface is only a touch away.

Copier Replacement

While multifunction copiers are partly digital, they are big mechanical machines with big maintenance
issues and tiny touch screens. As a copier replacement, KIC eliminates copier failure/service problems
and provides very large touch screens and view screens that are larger still. Organizing (collating,
clipping, rotating, etc.) pages on a huge touch screen is much easier than shuffling paper.

The digital age has steadily driven down the demand in libraries for paper copies to levels that make it
increasingly difficult to justify copiers. KIC self-service scanning systems reduce copier use further —
to the point that attaching a small laser or ink jet printer is sufficient. Scan Copy Fax KIC systems
also handle much larger materials than copiers, and they scan books without damaging them.

Self-Serve Fax

KIC's huge touch screen and larger view screen make faxing extra easy. Users can compose, review, clip,
crop and change brightness and contrast of the pages of a fax before sending. KIC's step-by-step process
is designed for easy operation by even the most timid users. All you need is an internet connection, and
DLSG will provide the rest at a cost so low that fax revenue can pay for the KIC system in a few years
or less.

KIC Payment System

KIC Coins – for smaller institutions

Built-in Debit Payment System
for KIC Systems

KIC Coin is a digital-age fee collection system included
with all KIC systems. KIC Coin does not require that a
coin box or a card reader be located next to each copier
and fax machine. It works like a debit card, but no card
is required. Patrons simply purchase any denomination
they designate at the front desk. The library staff member
prints a corresponding paper “KIC Coin” with barcode.
The patron then places the KIC Coin on the KIC scanner
and scans to begin charging the card with every scan
thereafter.

Printing copies and faxing have per page costs.
These costs are normally passed on to the user. With
photocopiers, MFCs and other book scanning kiosks,
additional hardware for collecting fees must be acquired.
The costs of this additional hardware must be passed on
to the user.

KIC has a free, built-in method of charging users for copies
and faxes. Simply print wallet-size “KIC Coins” on regular
letter-sized paper in any denomination that you like, cut
them out, and sell them to users at the circulation desk or
wherever you collect fees for late book returns.

KIC is Compatible with
Copy Card & Cash Systems

All KIC self-serve book scanning kiosksystems is compatible with all standard copy card and coin-op
devices. When KICs are introduced to a library, most patrons opt for digital output, so costly
expendables are avoided, even for color! With KIC coins, the the library can keep all revenue
it collects.

KIC Makes Your Print Collections Searchable

Search hundreds of pages of PDF or text files created in just minutes using KIC Bookedge

Users need only locate the volume(s) that they expect to contain the information they are seeking, scan
selected sections and output either a searchable PDF file or a text file. These files can easily be
searched for various keywords.

Keyword searching is becoming an indispensable capability that significantly improves the quality and
efficiency of researching print collections.

KIC Bookedge vs. Copiers – How KIC Compares

KIC vs. Copiers – How KIC Compares

Copiers are Outmoded

Since the first KIC was delivered to an academic library in 2004, the days of photocopiers for patron use in
academic libraries and even public libraries were numbered. And now with the rapid explosion of tablet
computers and electronic readers, the demand in academic libraries for electronic copies has substantially
outstripped the demand for printed copies. The demand for electronic copies in public libraries is also
reaching a tipping point.

The ability to capture virtually unlimited numbers of pages of research into a tablet or electronic reader
and search through that material on the Internet with a tablet, eReader or notebook PC that can be used just
about anywhere is highly convenient and immensely valuable. In this digital age, academic libraries are
compelled to go hybrid for three reasons: 1) the high demand for digital content; 2) their existing print
collections contain vast amounts of information that cannot be found on the Internet; and 3) students are
receptive to the price of electronic copies - typically free.

So how do the costs of KIC systems compare with those of photo copiers? There are three main factors that
keep the cost of photo- copies high: 1) each copy requires paper, toner and ink; 2) photo-copiers require a
lot of maintenance due to the number of moving parts; and 3) all major photocopier brands use a distributed
service model.

In contrast, these costs are lower for KIC because KIC has split the scan/copy functions into three
separate machines, choosing the best of breed for each. As a result, KIC offers the best book
scanners by themselves or with a loose-leaf paper (ADF) scanner. Virtually any off-the-shelf laser
or inkjet printer can be added to any KIC system, so you can optimize costs and speeds, and offer
affordable color.

ADF attachment scans 40 loose-leaf pages/min (20 sheets per minute)

KIC Bookedge Scanners vs. Copiers

This graph compares the total costs of one color KIC Bookedge system with three color copiers
and with
three black and white copiers. Both copiers are the kinds typically seen in academic libraries. One KIC
Bookeye 4 is compared with three copiers because its face-up operation yields well over two times the
performance of a typical copier. The costs are broken into three main areas: equipment and maintenance,
consumables, and patron usage time. With KIC, electronic output is assumed to be preferred over print 90% of
the time. That ratio has ranged from 75-95% electronic in 2012, but is certain to rise in the future.

A five Year Comparison at a
Usage Rate of 50,000 pages per year

At a usage rate of 50,000 pages per year, these numbers represent a five-year savings of $36,358!

No More Book Spine Damage!

Thick books with stiff spines and content that runs deep into the bookfold are often damaged when copied.
KIC Bookedge easily captures content without damaging book spines.

Thick books with stiff spines and content that runs deep into the bookfold are often damaged when copied.
KIC Bookedge easily captures bookfold content with high clarity, but all KIC face-up scanners avoid damaging
book spines.

Thick Books...No Problem

KIC Bookedge handles thick books beautifully. Its contour-finding laser allows it to
flatten even the most
curved books and produce text that is clear and undistorted. KIC automatically adds margins for print-ready
image quality.

KIC Bookedge Scans 3 Times Faster

KIC Scans 3-6 Times Faster

Statistics from five millionStatistics from many millions of scanning sessions across America revealed a median session length of 23 pages.
So, most of the time spent during a KIC session is spent scanning. Face up scanning has been proven to be
three times faster than face down scanning. So why is speed so importantHere are three reasons speed is so important:

It's economical. One KIC can replace multiple copiers or other face-down scanning machines.

It gives patrons another reason to visit your library.

It's green. The faster it is, the more use it will get and the less the copier will be used.

Color Images are Free

In the digital world, there is no paper, toner or ink, so libraries rarely charge for images,
whether black and white or color.

Color Copies for Less

Over the years, many libraries experimented with color copiers, but could never find a formulathat worked.
If the fees were low, patrons would copy materials with so much color that the library would spend more on
ink than the fees they were collecting. If the fees were too high, the usage would be so low that the cost
of the machine couldn't be justified.

KIC calculates the amount of color in an image before it is printed. So the fee for copies with a little bit
of color can be the same as the fee for black and white copies. If a copy has a lot of color, the fee can be
increased in proportion to the cost of the color ink or toner. This wonderful feature should be a simple,
easy byproduct of the digital age, and it is with KIC.

Capture Area Comparison

The capture area of copiers is about half that of KIC Bookeye 4 while the capture area of
typical consumer scanners is smaller still. With a 18 X 24 inch capture area, Bookeye 4 captures
it all!

Compact & Affordable

The KIC BookEdge is the perfect choice for student walk-up scanning and copying in areas where
space is a premium. It makes entire library collections available in digital form. The KIC
BookEdge's clever design allows users to scan pages right up to the bound margin near the spine,
without damaging books. The KIC BookEdge produces beautiful, full-color images at no additional
cost over black & white images! Even searchable PDF's and text-to-audio (MP3 files) are a
snap
to create.

The KIC BookEdge was specifically designed to occupy the same space as a typical floor-standing
photocopier. Replacing outmoded copiers in academic and research libraries is easy with KIC
BookEdge's modern scanning, printing and interactive computerized touch screen technology. The
optional ADF scanner and a printer gives the KIC BookEdge the functionality of a color copier at
a fraction of the cost.

Convert Loose Paper to Digital

Scan and save a 40-page article in one minute using KIC's duplex ADF scanner option

Digital copiers are very mature products that certainly have their place in business and
administration environments, but not the library floor. With its book edge feature that protects
the spines of books, its ADF option that scans one or both sides of 20 loose- leaf pages per
minute, and a generic high-speed printer, KIC gives new meaning to the phrase 'copiers are so
old school.' When compared with copiers and MFCs, KIC book scanners are the only intelligent
choice for the library floor.

True 2 Touch™ User Interface

Ease-of-use is a central feature of KIC. KIC BookEdge's large touch screen and its large "Scan"
and "Save, Send or Print" buttons that occupy a very large portion of the touch screen clearly
convey how easy KIC is to use. The Save button defaults to an output method and file format that
is selectable by the institution. If a flash drive is inserted, KIC detects this and the output
button changes to indicate that it will save to the flash drive. Users can override the default
output method by manually selecting one or more other methods of output.

KIC BookEdge's smart design includes the full KIC self-serve digitization functionality in a
mere 25 inch width. It's large, 22 inch touch screen and capture surface are at the perfect
heights when placed on a typical table or desktop. The KIC BookEdge also has an optional
matching "k-stand" for freestanding operation.

KIC BookEdge Tabletop Model

Both floorstanding and tabletop system configurations have an optional SmartDock
feature, which provides a convenient place for the user's tablet, notebook PC, or other
smart device while scanning.

Copy two face-down, full-color pages up to 11.8 x 17" with a single touch

Create full color electronic images and/or paper copies

Review electronic images before saving or printing copies

Collate by dragging images into proper order with your fingertip

Select file formats such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, even MP3 (audio)

Simply place your smart device on KIC's optional SmartDock and with just two touches, you
are ready for very high-speed transfer.

Sending scanned images via email is also fast and easy with hot-keys that are pre-programmed
with your institution's base email address.

Output to Google Docs / Google Apps for Education and other cloud-based tools can also be
simplified with pre-programmed hot-keys.

KIC is very agile, and allows the user to jump from just about anywhere in the touch screen system to just about anywhere else, directly and usually with a single touch. This modern, 'modeless' design is easier to use, but difficult to create.

KIC's large buttons and controls are easy to use, even for people with unsteady hands.

KIC gradually expands and contracts controls such as brightness, con- trast and DPI so users can easily follow their screen activity

KIC doesn't delete original images when you clip a photo or excerpt of text unless you tell it to.

KIC lets you output to many different destinations in a single session.

Once you've scanned a document, you can change your mind as to where you would like it to output. For example, you may have wanted to save to USB, but learned your USB drive is full. Or you may scan so much that it exceeds your email limit. Or after scanning and collating a mass of research, you decide that you want to share the research with others.

Two Large Screens for Simplicity & Power

It’s easy to undervalue screen size. For 20 years, all cellphone makers relentlessly pursued smaller and
smaller
screens until very recently when one company reversed that trend. They realized that people want the
largest
screen that will ﬁ t in their pocket/purse and hand. This is because display screens are our window to
the
digital world, and touch screens give us control over that world.

As big as self-serve scanning systems are, it makes sense to have a very large touch screen. And with
the low prices for high quality displays, it is compelling to add a separate display screen. In 2002,
DLSG realized this, when the first KIC system was designed. Today, with nearly 10 years more experience
than any other vendor, DLSG has the most understandable, easy to use and powerful user interface for
self-serve book scanning, and it’s based on dual screens.

The view screen shows very large, clear images of what you’ve scanned, allowing the touch screen to have
big, easy to understand buttons and other controls.

Display screens are our portals into the digital world, and touch screens are the easiest way to
control that world. That’s why DLSG provides large, 24 inch, full HD displays and equally large
touch screens with most of its KIC systems.

Enhance reports in a word processing program. Drag desired images from a flash drive,
Cloud storage or email directly into a word processing program, or save images to your
computer desktop and use the 'insert picture' function.

Once images are imported into a word processing program, you may want to resize or
reposition them or select from several ways that your text can wrap around the pictures.

Personal & Family Documents

Library patrons bring loose paper from home to scan, fax and send via email or save to a
USB device. A $5 USB thumb drive can store thousands of important documents.

Many citizens don't have a safe, reliable place to store and organize their important
documents. Documents scanned at the local library can be viewed with any low cost smart
phone.

For Study

Quickly scan many pages to take with you and study at your convenience in the comfort of
your home where you can read, search, markup, and print at your leisure

Book Excerpts

With KIC in your library, instructors are no longer restricted to a single text book.
They can freely assign many excerpts from many books without adding to the students'
already high cost of text books.

Scan Journals for Research

Scan Artwork

Scan Large Maps & Drawings

KIC Composer

Offer your students and faculty KIC and its powerful, digital age features that from a superhighway
between your highly valuable print collections and the digital word. Composer by KIC
is one of many powerful features that are free with any KIC station under active maintenance.

Select Clips

Once pages are scanned, KIC automatically select photos,
charts, and paragraphs. Users can simply touch and drag to
select an area, or just touch a photo, chart or paragraph and
drag it to the digital clipboard.

Compose Page

Move clips individually from the clipboard to existing pages, or start a new
blank page.
Then design your layout by arranging, rescaling, rotating clips,
and/or adding annotations, frames, and clipart.

KIC AutoNote

Use KIC to scan books and other materials with highlighted text, then click on KIC
AutoNOTE to automatically select all highlighted text. See the highlighted text in a
format that fits nicely on a smart phone screen. Read and review the highlights
without having to zoom in.

It's like having a study partner on the go!

Students and faculty can use KIC’s audio-output feature to create MP3 files so that they can
listen to their highlighted text and read along if they like.
Many students find it very helpful to simultaneously read and listen to study materials to
optimize retention.

Clip, crop, rearrange pages and then choose the kind of book, pages and quantity desired. Order
your
original book(s) using KIC's simple "shop-online" interface to find the best value and pay with
your
credit card. Your books will be printed, packaged and shipped to you within days!

Bring Many New Patrons to the Library with Print on Demand Made Easy

Print Beautiful Bound Copies of Your Thesis

KIC’s POD (Print on Demand) feature is a self-serve alternative to the usual thesis printing/binding vendors, using existing KIC systems offered by the university library.

I can’t believe how easy it was to order beautifully printed and bound copies of my thesis right from one of the KIC stations in the library!

Create Course Materials with Excerpts from Many Sources

With KIC in your library, instructors are no longer restricted to a single text book. They can freely assign many excerpts from many books without adding to the students’ already high cost of text books.

“I selected excerpts from eight books and created the text book I use for my Civil War class.”

Digitize on Demand
VS
Born Digital

Unlike Born Digital material which must be purchased on a subscription
basis, converting print to digital with KIC can be done on an unlimited basis.

KIC self-serve book scanning kiosks convert your huge investment in printed monograms and
serials into digitize-ondemand
collections at a cost that is an insignificant percentage of the value.

70% of students at US universities are served by DLSG products

The Hybrid Library

To fully earn the 'hybrid library' designation, a library's existing print collections must be
available in digital format. KIC systems allow your students and faculty to select material for
quick and easy self-serve digitization, providing a valuable conduit between your print
collections and patron tablets, PCs, eReaders and smart devices.

Digital images don't have the limitations of physical copies. They can instantly be shared with
fellow researchers around the world via email or Cloud, dramatically facilitating collaboration.

A Message to Students

Higher education libraries across America hold $100 Billion in scholarly knowledge, the majority
of which can't be found on the internet. This knowledge has been amassed through careful
selection over many years and is augmented at substantial expense every year. And, thanks to
U.S. copyright law, this knowledge is free to scan an unlimited number of times, or until the
books disintegrate.

Because of this, 70% of students at US universities, over 800 major university campuses across America,
have added high-speed self-serve book scanning machines to their library floors; machines that create
digital content at
rates of 5 to 20 pages per minute. These self-serve Knowledge Imaging Centers are much gentler on books
and produce
higher-quality digital content than the paper reprints produced by paper copiers. The images can cost as
little as 1¢ per
page and are readable on tablets & smart phones as well as notebooks and regular PCs. The images can be
printed at
any time for those who still prefer hard copy.

So what's the problem?

Paper copiers are as necessary as ever in administrative areas across campus, but copier
companies don't want to give up that one place they no longer belong, the library floor.

Meanwhile, book spines are being damaged, paper is being wasted, and students are not
seeing their libraries as the vast free sources for scholarly knowledge that they are.

What can be done?

Fortunately, academic libraries exist to serve students. The first step is for students to
inform the libraries as to just how important it is to switch from paper copiers to digital
book scanners that can print if desired. The next step depends on circumstances at your
particular institution. Every year, libraries spend many times more money on printed books
and journals than the cost of an entire fleet of new high-speed scanners. But some libraries
have no control ever any of that budget money. At these institutions, faculty specifies what
is purchased. So, the library must use other funds to purchase these units. If yours is such
an institution, it is especially important to convey just how much students value getting
unlimited, free digital content from their libraries, and that it's worth the effort to
source together the necessary funds from various other budgets.

Another means of acquiring KIC systems is to use student-administered funds (i.e. student
technology funds). These non-library funds can be used to purchase a pilot set of one small
KIC,
one medium KIC and one large KIC. Once they're in the library, their popularity with
students
will make it much easier to justify all the efforts necessary to piece together the funds
and to
tell the entrenched copier companies that the library floor is no longer their domain.

Alternately a relatively small portion of these funds can be used to upgrade from basic Knowledge
Imaging Centers (copier replacement kiosks) that scan 5 pages per minute to bigger, faster KIC
systems that scan up to
20 pages per minute.

Resource Sharing

We know the importance of resource sharing. To help squeeze more value out of your investment,
KIC can be configured to support the BSCAN Interlibrary Loan system, the Opus Digitization
Workflow system, and general ad hoc scanning.

Use a USB flash drive to enable other types of scanning at a KIC station and temporarily access
shared folders on a network. When you unplug the USB, the KIC station automatically returns to
its regular self-serve scanning station functionality.

For general purpose scanning by administrators and faculty, simply write a department
password file to a flash drive. When a user inserts the USB 'key', KIC recognizes the
password and allows the user to save scanned images to shared folders.

Premium Maintenance Plan

Image Access has an unmatched service and support record. It is impossible to affordably
provide service personnel living in every city and town across America that are highly
trained on the very special technologies needed by libraries. Instead, DLSG designs remote
serviceability into its products and has perfected remote diagnosis and when possible,
repair.

The resulting savings allows DLSG to frequently and promptly provide loaner/swap-out equipment and to go
on site whenever necessary to
maintain and repair equipment, minimizing interruptions in service.
